To all whom it may concern:

it known that I,'GARL Rnunnu DAHL, a c tizenofitlie United States, residing at vlVlurdoclz, in the county of Swift, and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pulleys for Automobiles, of which the following is a specification, I y a This invention relates to new and useful improvements in attachments for automobilcs and the principal ob ect of the mven-V tion is to provide means 'for detachably engaging one of the drive wheels, whereby the automobile may be-used as a stationary engine to drive machinery of various kinds.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide a pulley having means for attaching the same to an, automobile wheel, without necessltating any chan e to said wheel:

Another object of t e invention isto so form the pulley that the belt-carryin part thereof'is located well to theside of t e au-,

tomobile, so that the fender will not interfere with the belt;

Another object ofthe invention isto pro; vide a device'of this'character which is simple and'durablein construction, reliable and eiiicient in operation and onewhich can be axle bur removed so as to receive thesecuri manufactured .and placed upon the market at a cost.

The invention also consistsin certain otherfeatures of construction and inthe combination and arrangement of, the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically ointed out-in the appended claims; a

In escribing my, invention in detaihreterence will be; had to the [accompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like or corresp nding partsv throughout the several views, and in which':-

Figure l is a sectional view, showing the prising a pulley,

. invention applied to an; automobile wheel. I

Fig. 2 is a side View thereof.

In these figures l indicates a part 'ofan automobile wheel hub, with the hub cap and ing means of thepulley. This'pulley consists of the cylindrical part 2jmade to fit' the projecting part 3 of the wheel, This part 2 is open at both ends and a nut-4 provided with wings5 is adapted, to operate in the outeropenend of the, part 2. ,This nut is screw threaded to engage the screw threaded spindle 6' ofthe axle. 7 indicates a flat annular part. securedto the'hub 2 and are curved outwardlv The pulleymay be easily prising a pulley,

- having slots 8 therein adapted to fitover the heads of the bolts 9 in the hub of the wheel. 10 indicates the spokes of the pulley extending outwardly from the edge of the said fiat'portion and these spokes-are provided with strengthening webs ll'connecting them to the fiat portion and the spokes v to make/[he pulley proper, indicated by the reference numeral 12, of the correct size.- In other words, the greater the curve of these spokes, the larger. the diameter of the pulley will be. The spokes are of such length as to throw wellbeyond the automobile wheel, so that thebelt 13 will be free of the said the fender of the automobile. and quickly applied to the'a'utomobile by simply removmg the hub ca and the axle'bur and then Patented May 14, 1918. Applicationfiled April 20, 1917. Serial No. 163,488.

so d

the pulley wheel and placing the pu ey with the slots 8 over the bolts in the hub and screwing the wing nut 4 Jon the axle spindle. l

the 1 I desire it to be understood that I may make slight changes in the construction and several parts, provided that such changes I claim as my, invention:

LAn attachment for automobiles comprising a pulley, and thescrew threaded spindle of the rear axle to hold the pulley to the wheel.

2.An attachment for automobiles coma nut engaging with the screw threaded spindle of the rear axle to hold the pulley to the wheel and means on a nut engaging with in the combination and arrangement of the fall within the scope of the appended claims.

3'. An attachment forautomobiles comscrew threaded spindle of the, rear axle to hold the pulley to the wheel, said pulley having 7 bolt heads in 'the 'hub of the automobile Wheel.

4. An attachment for automobiles come prising a pulley, a hub formed to embrace the projecting part of the hub'of the rear wheel of an automobile, a nut a nut engaging with the slots therein for engaging with the v for engaging with the spindle of the rear axle, and a beltcarrying part secured to said hub.

5. An attachment *for automobiles com-- prising a pulley, a nut engaging with the p threaded spindle of the rear axle to o the pulley to the wheel, said pulley havahutnients for engagement with the autole wheel for preventing rotational of thepulley with relation to the e "wheel,v "taehment for automobiles comllev, and a member adapted for tinsel spindle to secure the pulley 7, Jan attaehment for automobiles comt s isniag ax -member formed to engage the pro- We hart of the automobile Wheel hub te end for engagement with w threaded spindle of the rear autoeatied engagement with the auto ting an open outer end, a nut adapted.

8. An attaclunentfor automobiles comprising a member formed to engage the projeoting part of the automobile wheel hub, means actin therewith to secure the attachment of said 'member to the automobile wheel, outwardly fiarin spokes carried by said member adjacent its outermost edges, and an annulus seeured to the free ends of said spokes.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
